It would work okay. If you could fork out a little bit more you could get this huge upgrade: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130334

It would be impossible to accurately answer you unless you provide your system specs in which you will be installing this graphics card. This way our members can locate potential bottlenecks throughout the rest of your system.
On an average system, the 8600GT should theoretically be able to play the aforementioned games on medium-ish settings, but cranking up the resolution to 1600x1200 might just be too much for newer titles.
If you really want a 8600GT, I would recommend the XFX XXX-Edition:

Otherwise, the 9600GT would be a good choice as it is one generation ahead of the 8600GT.

Another alternative would be 8800GS

Okay well my current spec(already posted on other threads, you might recognize them) are 2.13 ghz dual core 2 gb RAM. That really all that's needed for gaming right? Also, I'm upgrading from a 2.4ghz(single core) 512 mb RAM, and ATI 9250. The 8800 GS looks nice though. My parents usually only let me order from amazon,though. If I can convince my dad to let me order off of newegg, it might work. The problem with a 9600 or 8800 is that they are too expensive.
Okay I think I just found an offer that's too good to be true. Here it is.

8800 GTS for only $125.00? Is there anythign I should know about this card, liek it's faults? Also how much power does an 8800 consume? 400 watts I hope. Would a 550 supply work? Or a 500 watt one?
